Religious Services
BRH supports a broad network of students who are reinterpreting our Jewish traditions in ways that reflect their own lived experiences, questions, and hopes. Our model helps weave Jewish ideas and ambiance into the intellectual and social fabric of the universities.
Through Shabbat dinners, Jewish learning, cultural excursions, and more, BRH fosters Jewish pride and growth. An array of programming and initiatives allow students to connect with Judaism on their own terms, enabling every Jewish student to discover their own stake in Jewish history and global Jewish peoplehood.
As Hillel, the world’s largest Jewish campus organization, marks 100 years since its founding, a global centennial fundraising effort has now eclipsed $100M raised to enhance the lives of Jewish college students well into the future.
The Hillel College Guide aims to provide you with a snapshot of each local Hillel’s makeup and offerings. We recognize that there may be more information you need in order to better understand the campus reality, particularly around issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.
